Golden Scale [EN]: Chapter 19

Wednesday arrived, and Ru Yan brought a stack of rejected applications for him to review, then took leave to go shopping with Yue Ling. The downside of having a subordinate as a girlfriend was that he couldn’t refuse her requests for leave, nor could he act like a boss. *Alas*, what could he do? She was the girl he loved. He randomly picked five applications and looked at them casually. His team was efficient and rarely made mistakes, making his job as manager easy and pleasant. The first three were fine, but the fourth caught Hou Longtao’s attention.

The applicant was named Qu Peng, and it was for an industrial patent: a device that cost less than 300 RMB [Chinese Yuan, approximately $45 USD] and could reduce harmful substances in car exhaust by 55%. The application requested investment to build a factory, and the contact person was Qu Yan.

Picking up the phone, he called her in and handed her the application. “Take a look at this.” Qu Yan sat in the swivel chair in front of the desk and glanced at it. “What’s wrong?” “Explain to me the reasons for not investing,” Hou Longtao said, walking over to sit on the sofa behind her.

“There are two reasons. First, the investment is too large. There are no existing production lines domestically or internationally, and custom-building them would cost tens of millions. Land and factory buildings would also need to be purchased, bringing the total investment to over 200 million. But more importantly, the product’s sales prospects are poor.” Qu Yan turned her chair to face her lover. “I contacted several major car manufacturers in China, and they’re not interested. Market research results are also not optimistic; only 4% of respondents are willing to buy this product.” Hou Longtao rested his chin on his left hand, frowning. He thought, “With the current consumption levels of most people, coupled with low environmental awareness, it would be difficult to get them to voluntarily buy such a product, unless there’s a government mandate.”

Qu Yan sat next to him, twisting her upper body, her right hand pressing on his crotch, teasingly saying, “Hou, are you not satisfied with my work? Then you should punish me.” Her hand slipped into his pants, kneading his testicles, and she lightly licked his face with her tongue.

Since the two established their affair, Qu Yan’s boyfriend had a hard time satisfying her. After each sexual encounter, she felt like she was left wanting, and she had to play with Hou Longtao once the next day to solve the problem. In a way, Hou Longtao made a great contribution to maintaining Qu Yan’s good relationship with her boyfriend.

Last night, Qu Yan hadn’t been fully satisfied again, so she had planned early this morning to pull Hou Longtao to a hotel during lunch break. Just now, she saw Ru Yan and Yue Ling go out in their coats, knowing they wouldn’t be back for a while, so she took the opportunity to have a quickie with the man.

“Okay, I’m going to spank you. Not working seriously, what are you thinking about all day?” Qu Yan immediately understood that he wanted to hear her say dirty things, so she happily leaned over the man’s lap, sticking her butt up. “Hit me, I’m always thinking about your big dick, wanting it to fuck my pussy. It’s all my fault, I’m so horny, you punish me quickly, otherwise I’ll keep making mistakes at work.” Hou Longtao pulled her women’s pants down to her upturned buttocks, a black T-back thong cutting into the deep butt crack. He grabbed and kneaded the white, fleshy butt cheeks, then lightly slapped them, causing the butt meat to jiggle. This was probably the so-called “butt wave.”

The woman twisted her butt, moaning even more lewdly. “Ah… harder… harder… I deserve to be hit… ah… not enough… this kind of punishment isn’t enough… penetrate me with your big stick… um…” “Hehe, how could I? You’re being punished right now, how can I let you enjoy it so quickly? What do you take me for, a fake manager?” He reached his right hand from behind her butt into her thighs, pinching the front of her thong into a strip and gently pulling it. His left hand unbuttoned her suit jacket, playing with her breasts through her tight shirt.

Qu Yan felt even more unbearable. The strip of cloth rubbing against her pussy, her clitoris being scraped, her breasts being kneaded into various shapes inside her bra, her vagina itching strangely, and her wet juices kept gushing out. He inserted his fingers into the woman’s vagina and stirred. “Your pussy is so wet! Looks like you’re really having a hard time holding back.” Qu Yan desperately arched her butt back, chasing the man’s fingers, and rubbed her own clitoris. “Ah… ah… ah… ah… Monkey… stop teasing me… ah… ah… fuck me already…”

Hou Longtao didn’t want to drag things out too long. Although he had already admitted his relationship with Qu Yan to Ru Yan, it wouldn’t be good if she caught them fucking. After all, it would make her feel like he was cheating on her with another woman while she was away, because Ru Yan always thought this office was only for her, and even Ru Yun and Yue Ling hadn’t taken off their clothes here.

“Okay, seeing how eager you are, get on top, help me take off my pants first.” He remembered this time, he couldn’t get his pants all stained again. Seeing her lover give the green light, Qu Yan couldn’t wait to help him take off his shoes and pants.

Hou Longtao rested his head on the back of the sofa, scooting his body down a bit, turning into a semi-reclined position, his legs spread apart, his hard cock pointing straight up. The woman didn’t hesitate, quickly sucking it twice, then turned her back to the man, spread her butt with both hands, and sat down. Hou Longtao held his saliva-covered big dick, watching it gradually being swallowed by the woman’s two large, engorged labia. “Ah…” Feeling the head of his cock pushing upwards against her cervix, Qu Yan was already extremely satisfied with just this one move. Even her boyfriend couldn’t do this trick. She supported herself on the man’s legs with both hands, and began to move her butt up and down, her upper body straight, her head tilted back as much as possible, her eyes closed, her brows furrowed. “Ah… ah… so… so deep… Monkey… you’re fucking so deep…” Hou Longtao looked relaxed and content, his hands behind his head, completely delegating the initiative to the woman, only occasionally thrusting upwards. “A woman’s body is truly a work of art.” Looking at Qu Yan’s constantly rising and falling white butt, he couldn’t help but sigh in his heart, and couldn’t help but reach out to caress her butt meat.

Qu Yan had already orgasmed twice, so Hou Longtao didn’t hold back any longer. He sat up, reached his hands into the woman’s clothes, pinching her erect nipples, kneading her soft breasts. The woman consciously turned her head and gave him a French kiss.

“Sister Yan, I… I’m going to cum, can I shoot inside?” “Ugh… um… shoot inside… shoot it all into me… ah… I’ve been waiting for so… so long…” Just as Hou Longtao ejaculated, Qu Yan’s body suddenly froze, her moans stopped abruptly, and she released her vaginal fluids for the third time.

The two hugged each other for a while, then got up to tidy their clothes. “Sister Yan, help me invite that Qu Peng over, I want to talk to him in person.” “What? Are you really interested in this project?” Qu Yan took a comb from his drawer and combed her hair. “Let’s talk and see.” Hou Longtao lit a cigarette. Although Guomao [likely refers to the China World Trade Center or a similar office complex] had regulations that smoking was not allowed in the office, he didn’t care. He didn’t want to have to hide in the toilet to dare to take a puff like he did in high school.

“Okay, I’ll help you invite him, but I’ll remind you, Director Xu won’t agree to invest.” “Who wants to invest? I just want to chat with him.” Qu Yan didn’t understand, but didn’t ask too much. Through these months of working together, she found that this young manager was not only a pretty boy, but also very smart. Maybe he had some new plan.

She shrugged. “Anything else?” Hou Longtao sat back in the big swivel chair behind his desk. “Help me call Zhang Li in.” “Okay.” Qu Yan went out, thinking, “What’s going on today, calling one after another, suddenly becoming serious about work?” Zhang Li was preparing a feasibility report for an application. Hearing that Hou Longtao was looking for him, he asked Qu Yan, “What did he call you in for just now?” “About an application I handled, there was a bit of a problem. He’s probably looking for you for something similar.”

“Why were you in there for so long?” “Oh, he said I missed a very good investment project, I explained for a long time before he let me go. He’s doing spot checks, you better prepare too.” Zhang Li was a little nervous now. The company regulations stated that if an investment department employee was found to have three mistakes in a year, they would be fired. Before Hou Longtao took office, he had already had two mistakes. Adding this one, was he really so unlucky that every spot check would catch him?

Zhang Li was already thirty-nine this year, but he was still single. He had worked at IIC for more than ten years, saved a lot of money, had a car and a house, but he still couldn’t be considered a diamond bachelor, but he was golden enough. It’s not that there were no women chasing him, but he was a bit too picky. He didn’t like the ones who liked him, and the ones he liked didn’t like him.

He knocked on the door and entered the manager’s office, seeing Hou Longtao frowning and reviewing an application, constantly tapping on the calculator, and couldn’t help but feel another tightening in his heart. “Director Hou, you’re looking for me?” “Yes, sit down.” Hou Longtao raised his eyelids and pointed to the swivel chair in front of the desk, then continued to look at the document. Zhang Li sat down nervously, waiting for the manager’s lecture, but there was no sound for a long time. The long silence was suffocating, and he couldn’t bear it any longer. “Director Hou, did I make another mistake?” “Huh? Oh, no, no, I was too engrossed in reading, I forgot you were here.” Hou Longtao put down the application, smiled and handed him a cigarette. “Brother Zhang, are you busy tonight?”

“Phew…” Zhang Li breathed a sigh of relief. Hearing him call himself “Brother Zhang,” he knew it wasn’t official business, and his heart, which had been in his throat, finally relaxed. “Tonight? I’m free.” “Then accompany me out, how about it?” “Okay, no problem.” He guessed it was to meet business partners or something. It was rare for his boss to specifically ask him to accompany him, so how could he refuse?

Looking at the furnishings and decorations of this restaurant, it didn’t look like a place to discuss business at all. The lighting was extremely dim, all train-seat-style seating, with four round candles on each table, and couples chatting quietly while eating. The two found an empty table and sat down. “Brother Zhang, the atmosphere here is romantic enough, right?” He didn’t understand at all why Hou Longtao wanted to bring him here. “This… Director Hou, are we going to talk business here?” “Could he be gay?” Zhang Li started to get nervous again.

“We’re not talking business,” Hou Longtao said with a smile. “I want to introduce you to a girlfriend, Brother Zhang.” “Ah?!” Zhang Li was completely unprepared. “Girlfriend? No need, right?” “Listen to me first, she’s a thirty-eight-year-old widow with a sixteen-year-old daughter, not bad.” Zhang Li was even more unwilling. “I’m at least a mid-level employee of a foreign company, and I’ve never been married. How could I be reduced to dating a widow with a sixteen-year-old daughter? You’re still too young to understand the ways of the world.” He thought so in his heart, but he didn’t dare to say it. The boss was matchmaking, so it wasn’t good to refuse directly. “I… I don’t want to have a girlfriend yet.” “Hehehe, Brother Zhang, Brother Zhang, you’re really joking.” Hou Longtao held out a finger, pointing up and down in the air. “No, no, I really don’t want to… sigh, Director Hou, please don’t force me.” He said, getting up. “I’d better go first.” “Don’t, don’t be in such a hurry to leave.” Hou Longtao also got up, pulling Zhang Li’s arm. “It won’t hurt to meet her, and if you don’t like her, you can leave. Besides, she’s already here.” He waved towards the door.

Two women who had just entered walked over. Because the lighting was too dim, he couldn’t see their faces clearly. One of them, slightly shorter, took two quick steps, almost running into Hou Longtao’s arms, wrapping her arms around Zhang Li’s waist. “Brother Tao…” Hou Longtao also hugged Zhang Li’s shoulders and kissed her forehead. “Nono, why are you so late?” “Did you get impatient waiting? It’s all Mom’s fault, she starts talking on the phone with Uncle Hu and never stops.” The woman raised her head, revealing a pure and lovely face, it was Xue Nuo. The other woman also arrived, naturally it was He Liping.

Zhang Li was at a loss, suddenly stunned, because he saw the woman’s face clearly, a picturesque face with a light touch of makeup, she was the most beautiful middle-aged woman he had ever seen, except for Xu Ruyun. He couldn’t help but lick his lips, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and his breathing was a little rapid.

He Liping looked at him strangely, turned to Hou Longtao. “Longtao, why did you suddenly think of inviting me to dinner today?” “What do you mean suddenly? Can’t I miss you?” Her daughter’s lover always had a sweet mouth. Hou Longtao put one arm around Xue Nuo, and took the coat He Liping took off with the other, putting it on the chair, pointing to Zhang Li, who was still in a daze. “This is Zhang Li from our office, he’s my right-hand man, honest and reliable, mature and steady. This is Ms. He Liping.” Although He Liping was a little confused, she still politely extended her hand. Zhang Li’s eyes were glazed over, he shook Zhang Li’s jade hand with both hands, and couldn’t even say “Hello.” Hou Longtao looked at his distraught appearance, and was happy to death in his heart. “You two have a good chat.” After saying that, he ignored the two women’s blank expressions, and quickly walked to the other end of the restaurant with Xue Nuo.

He let the girl into the seat inside. “Brother Tao, what are you doing? My mom… um…” Before she could finish speaking, her cherry mouth was blocked by the man’s lips, and she was soon intoxicated in a passionate kiss with her lover, hugging Zhang Li’s neck, sucking on the invading tongue, and throwing her mother’s affairs to the back of her mind.

“Ahem…” The waiter’s dry cough interrupted the two. Xue Nuo shyly hid her face in the man’s arms. After Hou Longtao ordered a couple’s set meal, the two tongues fought again, and he still couldn’t help but knead the girl’s butt through her jeans. The girl leaned against her lover’s chest in a daze, only knowing to open her mouth to accept the food fed into her mouth by the man or to have intimate contact with his lips and tongue. A set meal that wasn’t very large, the two of them hadn’t finished eating in a full hour and a half.

The atmosphere at the other end of the restaurant wasn’t so good. He Liping didn’t know what Hou Longtao was up to at first, but later, due to Zhang Li’s great attentiveness, she gradually understood that he wanted to introduce her to a boyfriend, and she was almost mad. The reason she didn’t leave at the time was that she wanted to scold that “good son-in-law” afterwards. Zhang Li was really disappointing, facing He Liping, this mature and sexy beauty, he completely lost his usual composure. Maybe he wanted to be with her too much, and in the end, he even said, “I don’t care if you’ve been married, and I don’t care if you have children.”

He Liping’s lungs were about to explode, and she splashed a glass of water all over Zhang Li’s face. She came to Hou Longtao’s table angrily. “Nono, come home with me.” “Ugh… ah… Mom!?” Xue Nuo was awakened by her mother’s roar, and looked at her in surprise. Hou Longtao quickly got up. “Auntie, what’s wrong?” “What’s wrong? Look at the good thing you’ve done.” She pulled Xue Nuo up and walked out. Hou Longtao immediately put the money on the table, followed closely behind, with an imperceptible smile on his face.

He knew early on that she and Zhang Li wouldn’t make it, and she would be angry because he was matchmaking for her, but he didn’t expect her reaction to be so intense, but the more intense the better. It seems that it is God’s will for him to pick this pair of mother and daughter flowers… (金鳞岂是池中物) [A golden carp is not a thing to be kept in a pond – meaning a talented person is destined for greater things].
